    Idea is that put_pages vfunc does not need struct mutex?  Or it acquires
    it on demand inside it, which means struct mutex will nest inside the
    mm.lock?
Right, it loses the mutex within get/put pages and I am no longer
concerned about the number of workers. Though that is mainly because of
another patch to improve execbuf + userptr workloads.

Is that other patch before or after this one? Or in a different series altogether? In any case, why should this change be in this patch, especially when it is not commented anywhere?

Regards,

Tvrtko
